Summary A role for programmed cell death (PCD) has been established as the basis for plant–microbe interactions. A functional plant‐based cDNA library screen identified possible anti‐PCD genes, including one member of the PR1 family, designated P14a, from tomato. Members of the PR1 family have been...
